  • This week on Dining on a Dime, host Lucas Peterson goes to Pilsen, a primarily Mexican neighborhood on the lower west side of Chicago, to visit The Jibarito Stop, a food-truck-turned-restaurant that serves fantastic jibaritos. Using tostones, or fried plantains, in place of bread, the jibarito is crunchy, sweet, and in the running to become Peterson’s favorite sandwich.

      lol. They dont have Jibaritos in PR. Jibaritos were solely invented in Chicago. There is probably more PuertoRicans in Chi-tiwn than in PR.

    Little known fact about Lucas...back in his CIA days, while on assignment in Puerto Rico, Lucas stopped by a street vendor during a surveillance mission, the vendor had rice and beans, steak, pork, sauteed onions and tostones. The vendor served everything on a paper plate but Lucas, being in a hurry and having his hands full with spy gear needed another solution. Using his quick wit and hunger as motivation, Lucas told the vendor to place the sliced steak in between two tostones, add the sauteed onions on top with a coating of savory white sauce to bring it all together. AND that my friends is the legend of how the famous Puerto Rican Jibarito was born.

  • @kellypedersen9896
    @kellypedersen9896 7 лет назад

    There are (or were) quite a few sandwich shops in the more predominantly Puerto Rican neighborhoods in Chicago (like Humbolt Park and Logan Square) that specialized in jibarito sandwiches. My understanding from them was mashed plantains were used back in Puerto Rico because a lot of people couldn't afford bread ("jibarito" being a slang term essentially meaning "hillbilly"); but plantains grow everywhere there, so some inspired (and delicious) adaptations were done to make these awesome sandwiches.

    So I live in Puerto Rico and while Jibarito sandwiches can be found on the archipelago you have to go out of your way to find them. They're usually thought of as a fad or a gimmick. It's always fun to see tourists and the Puerto Rican diaspora trying to order Jibaritos at local restaurants. The confused stares that they get from the local employees are priceless.

    In Puerto Rico there is only one place that makes them and its called El Platanal(they specialize in plantain dishes). It's a Chicago invention brought to the island.

    • @YetzaSantoro
